I just ordered DBZ Kai Parts 7 and 8 on Blu-ray.

As an aside, is there any way to tell whether or not the affiliate link to Amazon is in effect? I clicked through from the main page, but then there doesn't seem to be any way to tell whether or not the site is getting their cut.

Dragon Ball Z Season 7.

This one was a pain to find for a decent price. All the sellers either priced it to up to $20 more than retail and retail stores didn't carry it either.

Gonna be picking up Z Kai Part 7 on Thursday or Friday next week though ^_^

Same fucking thing happened to me. I believe that it's around episode 40, when Kaioshin starts talking about holy water or something.

Season 7 just happens to the worst offender for some odd reason.

Luckily though I've been buying the Season Sets second hand apart from Season 1 and 6 which were retail.

For another odd reason, in retail they're selling Season 2 of GT for $3 more than Season 1.

And look what happened. xD

JK. I checked amazon before I posted this, and didn't see the difference. Do I suck at math as much as I think I do?

Fixed. I thought it would be cheaper to buy the complete series, rather than both season's one and two...

I did too. I was debating to wait for a GT Dragon box or get the singles (for the title cards + NEP previews). But I figured....the price was good lol

My gut feeling; we will never get a GT Dragon Box.

I said I'd never buy any of the Dragon Ball movies but I really couldn't pass up on such a cheap listing.

Dragon Ball: Mystical Adventure for $1

Dragon Box Z Volume 7 just arrived in the mail, I FINALLY HAVE THEM ALL!

Well we know Funimation are certainly interested in it, though GT isn't as well liked as Z, DB or the Movies, hopefully they'll just do one big set and get it over with or maybe they'll have to make due with 2 or 3 smaller sets, I'll certainly be getting it either way.
